    Strategy Truths & Lies, Mature Industries Already Know ft. Mitchell Osak
    Sep 18 2025
    Cannabis is chaotic by design. Vertical integration forces operators to run six or seven businesses at once — then replicate that model across states with different regulations, all without economies of scale. It’s no wonder the industry feels messy.The bigger problem? Too many companies are chasing the wrong metrics and ignoring the lessons other industries already learned.This week we sit down with Mitchell Osak — a veteran strategist across pharma, CPG, financial services, and cannabis — to unpack the hard truths and strategy lessons MSOs can’t afford to miss.In this episode we cover:• The wrong metrics driving cannabis off course — and which ones Mitch would track instead• Why TAM slides are the biggest lie in cannabis strategy• Which playbooks cannabis should borrow from pharma, wine, and techSummary:In this episode, Bryan Fields and Kellan Finney engage with Mitch Osak, a seasoned consultant in the cannabis industry. They explore Mitch's journey into cannabis consulting, the importance of strategic planning, and the challenges of standardization in the market.

  • THC Is an Ingredient, Where Pharma, MSOs & Hemp Collide, ft. Zach Edge

    THC Is an Ingredient, Where Pharma, MSOs & Hemp Collide, ft. Zach Edge
    Sep 11 2025

    THC is an ingredient.
    Cannabinoids will be treated like standardized inputs across pharma, licensed cannabis, and hemp—and the future winners are hedging until there’s clarity.

    What got you here won’t get you there. The next phase needs a new playbook: ops tweaks aren’t enough; strategy has to change.

    Near term, expect Schedule III to unlock e-pharmacy distribution and centralized GMP manufacturing, while tobacco pushes device rules, alcohol shapes low-dose beverage norms, and hemp keeps expanding.

    This chaotic industry is about to get even crazier.

    This week we sit down with Zach Edge to discuss

    • THC as a molecule
    • Intersection of pharma, hemp, and licensed cannabis:
    • Schedule III breakdown: e-pharmacies, centralized GMP

    Summary

    In this episode, Bryan Fields and Kellen Finney engage with Zach Edge, a seasoned expert in the cannabis and hemp industries.

  • Dr. Greenhouse: The #1 Mistake Killing Your Plants ft. Nadia Sabeh

    Dr. Greenhouse: The #1 Mistake Killing Your Plants ft. Nadia Sabeh
    Aug 28 2025

    What if keeping the room a little too dry is killing your plants?
    Humidity—and the HVAC that controls it—drives plant health, but air isn’t uniform across the room. The fix isn’t more AC; it’s dialing VPD so humidity, lights, airflow, and irrigation work together. Get it wrong and you lose yield and fail tests; get it right and buds stay sticky, healthy, and consistent.

    This week we sit down with Dr. Greenhouse (aka Nadia Sabeh) to discuss:

    • Dry ≠ safe: why extra-dry rooms can actually spread powdery mildew
    • Measure where it matters: a simple toolkit and method at the canopy
    • Design for airflow: room shapes and layouts that keep climate even

    Summary

    In this episode, Bryan Fields and Kellan Finney welcome Nadia Sabeh, also known as Dr. Greenhouse, to discuss the intricacies of cannabis cultivation, focusing on HVAC systems, climate control, and the importance of data monitoring. Nadia shares her journey into the cannabis space, her expertise in controlled environment agriculture, and the challenges growers face in maintaining optimal conditions for their crops. The conversation delves into root cause analysis, the significance of understanding plant needs, and the necessity of proper data collection to improve cultivation practices. Nadia emphasizes the importance of customizing environments for different strains and the impact of room geometry on airflow dynamics. She also highlights essential tools for growers and offers final takeaways for improving cultivation practices.

  • The ROI of Pre-Roll Automation: Scaling Quality, Reducing Labor, and Hitting 20K+ a Day ft. Shahar Yamay

    The ROI of Pre-Roll Automation: Scaling Quality, Reducing Labor, and Hitting 20K+ a Day ft. Shahar Yamay
    Aug 7 2025

    Every investment is just an ROI calculator.

    Automation feels risky—until you run the numbers.

    It doesn’t kill craftsmanship—it scales it.

    Growing your pre-roll category usually means balancing sales growth with hand-filling teams to maintain quality.

    But what if you could do both?

    What if you could leverage best-in-class automation to hit your numbers faster, cleaner, cheaper—without sacrificing quality?

    The truth?

    You don’t need 30 people rolling joints when 3 people and a machine can do it better.

    This week, we sit down with Shahar Yamay, CEO of Hefestus Technologies, to break it down.

    • The ROI of Automation—and how to know if it actually makes sense
    • Balancing scale, quality, and consistency in cannabis manufacturing
